Kibana3 installation as elasticsearch site plugin results in 404

[rkettelerij]

It's pretty easy to install Kibana3 as an ES site plugin:

rickette-wifi:bin rickette$ ./plugin -install elasticsearch/kibana3
-> Installing elasticsearch/kibana3...
Trying https://github.com/elasticsearch/kibana3/zipball/master... (assuming site plugin)
Downloading ......................................................................................................................................................................................DONE
Installed kibana3 into /Applications/elasticsearch-0.90.3/plugins/kibana3
Identified as a _site plugin, moving to _site structure ...
Installed kibana3 into /Applications/elasticsearch-0.90.3/plugins/kibana3/_site

However navigating to http://localhost:9200/_plugin/kibana3/ results in a 404. This is cause by one obsolete directory created during installation. The filesystem path should be:

<elasticsearch>/plugins/kibana3/_site/

But instead it's

<elasticsearch>/plugins/kibana3/elasticsearch-kibana-e57aba1/_site/

Without the elasticsearch-kibana-e57aba1 directory Kibana3 as an ES plugin is working fine.

Thanks for this.

I cannot get this working with a fresh new Elasticsearch 1.0.0 installation.

It would be very cool if it would possible to install Kibana3 as ES plugin just like Marvel, but I didn't found any documentation about this beside this issue.

this is true does not work with ES 1.0.0

This worked for me on Elasticsearch version "1.0.1"
sudo ./plugin -url http://download.elasticsearch.org/kibana/kibana/kibana-latest.zip -install elasticsearch/kibana3

We don't currently support Kibana as a _site plugin. We've decided to implemented a dedicated backend for Kibana 4 so installation as a site plugin is no longer possible.
